1 BACKGROUND
The National Waste Management Strategy Implementation Project (NWMSI-project) is a direct follow-up of the National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS) for South Africa, developed during 1997-1999. The overall objective of the NWMSI-project is To reduce generation of waste and the environmental impact of all forms of waste, so that the socio-economic development of South Africa, the health of its people and the quality of its environmental resources are no longer adversely affected by the effects of waste. The NWMSI project focuses at the implementation of selected national waste management strategy components, i.e. Health Care Waste, Recycling and the Waste Information System. The objective of the Recycling Component is to increase and extend waste recycling and reuse in South Africa. The Mpumalanga Province, and specifically the Mbombela Local Municipal area, has been selected as the pilot area for the implementation of the Recycling Component. In this pilot area, new waste streams were identified, existing initiatives were evaluated for possible expansion and improvement and new initiatives were considered for implementation. Appropriate mechanisms were identified and developed to promote sustainable recycling by all members of the recycling chain. Based on an appraisal of the social, environmental and economic benefits and costs of recycling in comparison with one-way consumption and disposal, the collection, recycling and reuse of waste office paper was identified as a priority Recycling Component pilot sub-project. This report sets out the finding of a Baseline Assessment of the collection, recycling and reuse of waste office paper in the Mbombela Local Municipality area, and provides an Implementation Plan for the proposed pilot trial.
2 NATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

Waste is defined by the Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism in terms of the
Environment Conservation Act (Act 73 of 1989) as: an undesirable or superfluous by-product, emission, residue or remainder of any process or activity, any matter, gaseous, liquid or solid or any combination thereof, which: (a) is discarded by any person; or (b) is accumulated and stored by any person with the purpose of eventually discarding it with or without prior treatment connected with the discarding thereof; or. (d) is stored by any person with the purpose of recycling, re-using or extracting a usable product from such matter Wastes may be separated into two different categories: general and hazardous wastes: General Waste is a generic term for waste that, because of its composition and characteristics, does not pose a significant threat to public health or the environment if properly managed. Examples include: paper, metals, glass, plastic, organic and inerts such as builders rubble. General waste is generated in the domestic (households), commercial
(offices, shopping centres, restaurants, warehouses, etc) and industrial sectors. General waste must be disposed of on a permitted landfill site (Mamutech, 2005) Hazardous Wastes are those that have the potential to impact negatively on the health and safety of humans and / or cause damage to the environment by polluting soil, air and water. Hazardous waste may only be disposed of on a permitted hazardous waste landfill site. Mamutech JV (2005)
The National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS) represents Governments strategy for Integrated Waste Management (IWM) in South Africa. The strategy presents a plan to: Replace uncoordinated and fragmented waste management with integrated waste management; Change the historic focus of impact management and remediation towards a greater emphasis on waste prevention and minimisation; Provide waste management services to previously un-serviced communities; and Implement the Integrated Pollution and Waste Management Policy. In line with the National Waste Management Strategy therefore, is the principle of reduction of waste wherever possible. Waste reduction or minimisation is a central theme within the NWMS (DEAT, 1999).
2.1 Waste Minimisation

Waste minimisation comprises any activity that prevents the formation of waste or reduces the volume and/or environmental impact of waste that is generated, treated, stored or disposed of. The aim of the waste minimisation strategy is to ensure that waste minimisation procedures and practices are adopted by all sectors of society, with a special initial focus on the principal generators of waste particularly those producers who generate a high volume of waste and low volume of waste with a high environmental impact (DEAT, 1999). While the emphasis in the waste minimisation strategy is on significant generators of waste, it must also by its nature, apply to all stages of the waste stream. Thus the volume of waste that household or community generates is also considered in the strategy. One of the ways that the household or community can minimise waste to landfill, is via recycling.
2.2 Recycling as a Waste Minimisation Option

Recycling of waste refers to the separation at source of recyclable materials from the general waste stream and the reuse of these materials (DEAT, 1999). The objectives of recycling are to save resources as well as reduce the environmental impact of waste by reducing the amount of waste disposed at landfills. In addition, recycling has the potential for job creation and is a viable alternative to informal salvaging at landfills, which is undesirable due to the problems of health and safety associated with salvaging (DEAT, 1999). It is thus inherent in the NWMS, that recycling is a key waste minimisation option. The main materials that are recycled include, paper, glass, metal and plastic. Organic matter is typically converted into compost. As will be evident later in this report, one of the
major components in the Mbombela Local Municipality waste stream is paper, and this forms the basis for this baseline analysis.
3 INTERNATIONAL TRENDS IN PAPER PRODUCTION AND RECYCLING

The international paper production and consumption volumes are significant. An analysis of the major world producers and consumers was undertaken in 2004 by the South African Forestry, Pulp and Paper Industries and is presented in Table 1 below.
Table 1: World Paper and Board Production and Consumption per Country for 2001 P&B P&B Region Production Region Consumption 1000 tons 1000 tons 1. USA 80,759 1. USA 87,933 2. China 32,000 2. China 38,130 3. Japan 30,731 3. Japan 30,836 4. Canada 19,686 4. Germany 18,543 5. Germany 17,879 5. U.K. 12,516 6. Finland 12,503 6. Italy 10,734 7. Sweden 10,534 7. France 9,680 8. Korea 9,724 8. Canada 7,875 9. France 9,630 9. Korea 7,850 10. Italy 8,924 10. Brazil 6,618 24. S. Africa 2,268 26. S. Africa 1,879
As expected the USA is the biggest single producer and consumer of paper and board products. South Africa produces less than 3% paper than the USA and consumes just 2% of the USA. In fact on a world wide scale, South Africa ranks 24th in production and 26th in consumption. In 2002, estimates were made concerning the consumption of paper and board throughout the world and then converted to a per capita volume of paper consumed. The results are presented in Table 2 (South African Forestry, Pulp and Paper Industries, 2004).
Table 2: World Production and Consumption of Paper per Country in 2002 Production Apparent Consumption Production Region Capacity Consumption per capita (1000 t) (1000 t) (1000 t) (kg) World 383,431 330,704 330,761 53.7 Europe 114,588 101,271 91,958 152.2 Asia 126,495 105,099 113,991 41.8 Australasia 3,800 3,769 4,433 70.7 North America 114,954 100,949 95,956 279.2 South America 19,187 15,660 18,593 33.0 Africa 4,407 3,956 5,830 6.5 South Africa 2,635 2,350 1,775 42.7
It can be seen that South Africa as a whole uses similar volumes of paper to Asia and South America. It is also clear, that Africa as a continent uses the lowest volumes of paper in the world. The assumption made in Table 2 is that consumption is uniform across the whole population. In fact this is not accurate; studies undertaken in South Africa have clearly shown that there is a differentiation in waste generated for the different income groups. The lower the income group, the lower the volume of waste generated. A more likely per capita volume would have to take these issues into account.
4 NATIONAL TRENDS IN PAPER RECYCLING IN SOUTH AFRICA

4.1 Background to Recycling
An overall analysis of the South African paper recycling market has been undertaken by Hunt, 2005. It identified the following paper groups, types, recycled fibre content and potential opportunities (see Table 3 below). A brief analysis of Table 3 indicates the following: The highest collection rate for recycling of paper is the corrugated cardboard type, where rates are at 75%. This is not surprising considering that this component of the waste stream makes up 50% of all paper used. Newspapers and magazines also have a relatively high collection rate of 51% but the newspaper and magazine market only accounts for some 11% of the paper market. The second highest portion of the SA paper market is the Printing, Office and Scholastic paper. This accounts for 30% of the paper used, but only about 28% is recycled. There therefore exists a strong opportunity to increase this recycle rate and thus the volume of paper removed from the waste stream. The total recycle rate for all paper waste streams is 50%.
Table 3: Analysis of Paper Recycling for South Africa
4.2 Paper Manufacture and Consumption

The Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (PAMSA) carried out a survey in 2004, of a number of producers of paper to ascertain the volume of paper produced in South Africa (PAMSA, 2005). The companies participating in the industry survey were as follows: Kimberly-Clark SA Mondi Business Papers Mondi Packaging SA Mondi Shanduka Newsprint Nampak Tissue Nampak Corrugated Sappi Kraft Sappi Fine Paper Sappi Saiccor
The results of the survey are presented in Table 4.

South Africa consumed a total of 2,208,000 tons of paper in 2004. If one takes the current estimated percentage of potential paper recycling at 50%, then a total volume of 1,104,000 tons of paper could be recycled per annum.
4.3 National Rates of Recycling

The amount of paper available for recycling in South Africa is presented in Table 5 below. Table 5: Paper recycling in South Africa - 2004

The following conclusions can be drawn from an analysis of Tables 4 and 5: The volumes for consumption of paper vary between 2,208,000 tons per annum (Table 4) and 2,147,000 tons per annum (Table 5). This discrepancy is 2% of total consumption. The potential market for recycled paper is between 1,100,000 tons per annum (Table 4) and 1,489,000 tons per annum (Table 5). The current recovery rate for recycled paper varies between 50 % (Table 4) and 44.92% (Table 5).
As stated earlier, the potential to improve certain aspects of the waste stream could have significant advantages for waste management.
4.4 Challenges to paper recycling

Paper recycling faces a number of challenges: The highest proportion of paper products recycled is the easy to collect component, the cardboard and packaging materials; Supply and demand continuously ebb and flow. As supply outstrips demand, the prices fall and recovery decreases. As the demand increases, so the supply gains momentum and prices rise until supply outstrips demand. This is represented in Figure 1. Recovered paper is generally used in the manufacture of packaging materials and tissue paper. There is one manufacturing facility in the Eastern Cape (SAPPI Adamas Mill) which is manufactures stationary paper, but the economics of scale mean the costs of such paper is higher than virgin paper.
It is important that these challenges are addressed if the paper recovery market is to be stable and able to supply a range of products that business and the consumer can use.

5 MBOMBELA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY

5.1 Background
Mbombela Local Municipality is located within the Ehlanzeni District Municipality and was formed at the end of 2000 through the amalgamation of the former White River, Nelspruit and Hazyview Local Councils. It lies in the South East of the Mpumalanga Province and comprises of an area approximately 3,300km2 in size (Mamutech 2005). Nelspruit, as the Capital of the Mpumalanga Province, is the economic centre of both the Province and the Mbombela Municipality. The Mbombela region is characterised by high poverty levels with 52% of the population having an income below the Minimum Living Level. Development in the area can be described from a waste management perspective as follows (Mamutech 2005): The urban centres/towns of Nelspruit, White River/Rocky Drift and Hazyview incorporate integrated residential, commercial and industrial development. These areas have well developed infrastructure with substantial road networks and good access to waste management infra-structure. The residential townships of Kanyamazane, Matsulu and Kabokweni were established as separate residential areas to service the above urban centres. Development in these townships is formal with fairly substantial internal road networks providing access to most households and with a well developed external access road network. The fairly newly developed lower to middle income residential developments of Tekwane South, North (under development) and West (under development). The substantial peri-urban areas, such as Daantjie and Pienaar, in the eastern part of Mbombela in the previous Kangwane areas. These areas are largely residential with very limited commercial development. Development comprises of a number of communities with substantial houses that have developed in an informal pattern in dense developments. Access to communities is mainly via fairly well maintained gravel district roads, although a number of these roads are being upgraded to a surfaced standard. Road networks within the communities are generally poorly developed providing only limited access to individual houses. Traditional low density residential development predominates in the rural old Kangwane areas, such as Luphisi and Spelanyana. The Ngodwana paper mill, and its adjacent residential township, were developed by and are managed by SAPPI.
5.2 Waste Stream Analysis

An Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP) has been compiled for the Mbombela Local Municipality (MLM). The plan is intended to be the basis for the implementation of a sustainable, efficient and effective waste management programme that will: address waste management needs; contribute to poverty alleviation; ensure sound waste management practises; and, facilitate skills development and transfer (Mamutech, 2005). The IWMP indicates that, in the absence of any increased efforts related to waste reduction and recycling, waste generated in the area will increase in accordance with improved living standards, population increases, extension of services to presently unserved areas and improved control on illegal dumping. The projected waste quantities for the MLM, should collection services be extended to all unserviced areas, are summarised as in Table 6. It is estimated that some 123,000 tons of waste will be generated in 2005. It is expected therefore that for 2005, some 15,340 tons of paper per annum will be generated in the MLM.
Table 6: Projections for Waste to Landfill Low growth scenario High growth scenario Year Tons/annum Cumulative Tons/annum Cumulative tons tons 2001 109 200 109 200 2005 121 000 577 700 123 000 581 000 2010 128 400 1 208 100 141 800 1 251 400 2015 132 400 1 862 100 163 600 2 024 600 2020 136 700 2 537 100 188 800 2 916 600 %growth p.a. 1.2% 2.9%
In order to determine the composition of the waste in the waste stream, it was necessary to evaluate the content of the average household waste for a number of different income groups. To do this, a study was undertaken to gather field data. The results of the waste stream analysis at source for households is presented in Table 7 (Mamutech, 2005). These analyses were then used in the generation of predictions for individual volumes of waste materials in the waste stream. These volumes are presented in Table 8.

6 PAPER RECYCLING ANALYSIS STATUS QUO

There is no co-ordinated record of the quantity of waste that is being recycled in MLM, except for that related to the MLM Waste Minimisation Initiative where SAPPI provide monthly figures related to recyclable waste purchased in terms of their agreement. (Mamutech , 2005) The MLM waste recycling initiative was established in recognition of a number of problem areas with respect to the MLM, including (Mamutech, 2005): Minimal encouragement by officials on issues such as waste prevention, reduction and re-use; Little information available on the nature, extent and significance of recycling and reusing waste generated by the MLM; No formal coordination of waste recycling activities; 11
Majority of recycling and re-use tends to occur at the mixed source phase rather than at source. Recycling mainly commercially driven, and informally organised; No formal or structured approach to the kerbside collection of recyclable material. Landfill site airspace limited; and Existence of poverty pockets within the MLM.
The expected outputs of the project were listed as: The creation of 50 sustainable jobs (minimum of 15% disabled people; 50% women); The formalisation of 3 capacitated waste recycling SMMEs (registered ccs); A 25% increase in turn-over and profit for existing informal groups; A 25% increase in wages for existing scavengers; 1 waste recycling plant, i.e. Nelspruit Transfer Station; and A 10% reduction in Mbombelas waste stream by 2007. As part of the Waste Minimisation Initiative, MLM and SAPPI Waste (Pty) Ltd (SAPPI) entered into a Waste Minimisation Agreement with a 60 month term commencing on 1 st March 2004. In this agreement MLM recognises the need to minimise waste at its landfill sites through the institutionalisation of waste minimisation and recycling as part of a LED funded project that will protect against the exploitation of approved, registered recycling groups. SAPPI recognises its interest to procure recyclable waste material through the organised groups in the MLM and to buy recyclable material from the approved, registered groups (Mamutech, 2005). The agreement makes provision for the following groups of collectors: Mandla Endoda Recycling Situated at the Nelspruit Landfill Site Mbonisweni Womens Trading Situated at the Mbonisweni (White River) Landfill Site Asibongeni Womens Trading Situated at the Nelspruit Drop Off Centre situated next to the MLM Nelspruit Transfer Station Hazyview was excluded from the formal agreement due to the fact that it is situated on tribal land. The targeted recyclables for collection by the group are paper, plastic, cardboard, pressed wood, steel, plastic, glass bottles. There are also a number of formal paper Service Providers active in the recycling market in MLM. They are listed in Table 9 (Mamutech, 2005).

Greens Waste is the only company to have been permitted by DWAF and issued with a Waste Directive. In order to obtain some indication of quantity, the larger recycling companies operating in MLM were visited and information relating to quantities being recycled was obtained (Mamutech, 2005). The consolidated figures are given in the Table 10.
Table 10: Volumes of waste recycled per month in MLM PRODUCT Glass Cardboard Paper Cans Plastic Used Oil TOTAL Scrap Metal TOTAL TONS PER MONTH 152 599 193 5 102 70 1 121 2 665 3 786
The total waste products recycled (excluding the scrap metal) extrapolates to 13,452 tons per annum. The volumes of paper and cardboard are 9,504 tons per annum recycled. As identified above in Table 8, it is predicted that by 2005 a total volume of 15,340 tons/annum of paper waste will be generated. To verify this figure a short exercise was undertaken to calculate the waste paper generated using the per capita volumes estimated at an international level in Table 2. The population numbers were derived from the demographic profile presented by Mamutech, 2005. These values are presented in Table 11.
13
Table 11: Population in MLM Population 1996 Population 2001 Population Growth Rate Estimated 2004 Population 425 663 474 803 2.21% P.A. 506 834
The South African per capita paper consumption is 42,7 kg per annum. This equates to 21,641 tons per annum consumed. This is an overestimate because of the diverse nature of the population. A refined estimate based on 42,7 kg/capita of paper for higher income groups and 24,6 kg/capita for lower income groups produces a volume for 2004 of 13,967 tons/annum (derived from the average of the Africa per capita use and the South African per capita use). The individual volumes consumed per income group are presented in Table 12.

The predicted growth in waste for Mbombela is 2.2% per annum. The predicted volume of paper consumed in 2005 is calculated as 14,273 tons/annum. This is within 7% of the value predicted by Mamutech (2005), of 15 340 tons/annum. The data from the recyclers estimates that some 9,504 tons/annum of paper is recycled in MLM. If the 2.2% growth rate is applied to this figure to estimate for 2005, then the predicted recycled volume of paper is 9,713 tons/annum. This represents 63% of the paper waste stream.
14
7 BASE LINE STUDY CONCLUSION &

RECOMMENDATIONS
The national average of paper recycling is between 44% and 50% of the total paper waste stream. The average for MLM is 63%, higher than the national average. Some 5,600 ton/annum are still available for recovery. However, un-recyclable material makes up 36% of the waste stream and thus the available volume is about 3,500 tons/annum. Most of the paper recovered is in the form of cardboard and packaging material (nationally 75% recovery). This means that it can be expected that of the 3,500 ton/annum available, the bulk is office and scholastic paper.
8 USE OF RECYCLED PAPER PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT IN MBOMBELA

SAPPI (Ms. Renate Advocaat and Ms. Malini Sanjith) have undertaken an assessment of paper use and the potential for the use of recycled paper by the Mpumalanga Provincial Government at their offices in the Riverside Complex in Mbombela (see Appendix 2). The assessment was carried out toward the end of 2005 by using a questionnaire. It was aimed at assessing the use of paper, knowledge about paper specifications, paper preferences and the willingness to use recycled paper. The conclusions and recommendation of the assessment are summarised below.
8.1 USE
OF
RECYCLED PAPER ASSESSMENT CONCLUSIONS
The following were the main conclusions on the use of recycled paper: (i) The assessment found that the staff of the Provincial Departments had limited knowledge about the use of recycled paper. Consequently, it would be necessary to initiate a program of awareness-raising and education about the use of recycled paper, as well as to promote the use of recycled paper. Various communication media should be used to promote its use, e.g. posters, brochures, intercom announcements, and courses. (ii) In regard to the procurement of recycled corporate identity stationery, it was found that: Education needs to be initiated; A meeting needs to be set up with Government printer, Office of the President and their graphical designer(s) to promote and provide the technical background to the benefits of using recycled paper; and similarly the concepts need to be work-shopped with the Provincial procurement and department heads. (iii) In regard to the procurement of recycled coated paper, education and promotion needs to be initiated. (iv) In regard to the current procurement of paper and consumption statistics, the province needs to consolidate and track their paper use and waste paper collection statistics more accurately.
15
8.2 USE
OF
RECYCLED PAPER ASSESSMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
The following were the main recommendations on the use of forms of recycled paper: (i) On the use of recycled copy paper: a. Initiate a pilot trial with recycled copy paper with the following (high paper users) Provincial Departments: Roads and Transport, Culture and Sports, and Public Works. b. Supply dedicated bins to collect and store waste paper. c. The collected waste office paper should be collected by the waste ladies that currently provide the waste collection service. d. A pilot printing trial with high volume use of recycled paper should be undertaken in collaboration with the MinuteMan Press Company in Nelspruit. e. In parallel with the above, an awareness-raising campaign about recycling and the use of recycled (copy paper) should be run by Province. (ii) In regard to the procurement of recycled corporate identity stationery, it was recommended that a process of marketing and education be initiated in regard to branding at the National Government level. (iii) In regard to the procurement of recycled coated paper, it was recommended that a process of marketing and education be initiated
9 ASSESSMENT OF OFFICE PAPER COLLECTION AT MPUMALANGA PROVINCE RIVERSIDE COMPLEX

9.1 PURPOSE
An assessment was undertaken during 10-12 April 2006 of the waste office paper collection system at the Riverside Complex (SEE Appendix 5). The office paper recycling project forms part of the Mbombela Waste Minimisation and Recycling project. The assessment will guide future improvement of the current system, in terms of waste office paper recycling and re-use. In addition, the National Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT) will use the outcome of the project for the national roll out on waste office paper recycling and re-use. The assessment was undertaken by Ms. J. Kula-Seiteisho, with the assistance of Mr. F, Theledi (MDALA) and Messrs. D. Nkosi and C. Masuku (of MAIPI Trading).
9.2 RIVERSIDE COMPLEX WASTE OFFICE COLLECTION

The Complex comprises nine buildings; each building has a maximum of three floors. All waste from the buildings on the Complex is transferred to a recycling facility situated at the basement of Building Number Five, i.e. the building occupied by the Provincial Department of Public Works and Transport.
16
In Situ Waste Disposal Procedure: The existing waste office paper disposal practices at the Riverside Complex are the following: Each of the nine buildings is provided with a central bin for the disposal/collection of waste office paper. Waste bins are also positioned at strategic points within the premises, including the kitchen (kitchen waste), the dining hall (food waste), as well as waste bins positioned next to the stationery rooms. Unfortunately, there are no dedicated bins for waste office paper disposal in individual offices. Although provision has been made for disposal of waste food and wet waste generated by the officials, i.e. dedicated waste bins in the dining halls and kitchens, some of this waste is also disposed-of into the waste paper bins in the individual offices. Dry waste from the individual offices is disposed to the centralised bins situated in each office buildings. The typical dry waste emanating from the offices include: cans, plastic, newspaper, and waste office paper. In addition, there are instances where officials put the waste office paper aside for collection and shredding by the cleaners. Waste Collection by Cleaners: The procedure for emptying of waste bins is the same throughout the Complex; the bins are emptied by the cleaners (employed by a contract cleaning company) using black plastic bags. The plastic bags are then transferred to storage cubicles within each Department. Waste taken from the kitchens and the dining rooms, comprising of food and other contaminated waste, is stored separately from the waste that is taken from the offices. This separation procedure was instituted to ensure that the dry recyclable waste is transferred to the recycling facility, while other (wet and contaminated) waste is stored separately for collection and final disposal via the normal municipal waste collection system. Notwithstanding this procedure, the waste office paper is still contaminated in the individual offices (see above). Recycling Facility: The Waste Recycling Facility is operated by a private company, the Maipi Trading Company. The company is contracted by the Department of Public Works and it is operating as a close corporation. The dry waste collected from the nine buildings is delivered to a Waste Recycling Facility at the Complex by the group of nine women employed by Maipi Trading. All the waste entering the facility is recorded (number of back plastic bags) by means of a manual written record; unfortunately the company does not have a scale to weigh the amount of waste that is collected by the facility. All the written records are kept in a journal and the waste data is forwarded to the Department (see typical example below, Figure 2). The amount of dry waste being recovered differs for the different Departments. The Department that produces the largest amount of waste office paper is the Department of Education in Building No. 7; the second largest producer of office paper is the Department Public Works, who are also situated at Building No. 7; and the Legislature produces the least amount of waste paper. Sorting of the waste into individual fractions is undertaken by the Recycling Facility employees at the centre as each waste load is delivered to the facility. The main objective of the facility is to recycle waste office paper. However, recycling is not limited to waste office paper, but any other dry recyclable material emanating from the offices is accepted by the facility. The types of recyclable waste that reaches the facility
17
includes office paper (HL1), card box (k4), newspaper, cans and all types of plastic. HL1 is shredded in a shredder machine owned by the Recycling Facility, and K4 and HL1 is bailed before being sold. Maipi Trading Company sells their material to Anti-Waste, except cans which are sold to a nearby scrap yard.

9.3 WASTE OFFICE PAPER CHALLENGES

The following challenges have been identified for waste office paper collection, storage recycling and reuse at the Riverside Complex: (i) The existing infrastructure does not make provision for separation of waste at source, which results in waste office paper being contaminated before it reaching the recycling facility. (ii) Only the total quantity of waste (number of black plastic bags) reaching the Recycling Facility is recorded, i.e. there are no records for the mass of the individual dry waste streams (e.g. waste office paper, tins, glass, bottles or plastics). (iii) The source of waste office paper (Building Number or Department) is not currently recorded by the Recycling Facility staff.
9.4 WASTE OFFICE PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on this assessment the following recommendations are made: (i) An awareness-raising campaign should be undertaken which addresses waste separation at source, as well as the collection, recycling and reuse waste office paper at the Riverside Complex. (ii) In order to improve efficiency of the existing waste collection system, a tracking system should be put in place to provide the source (Department and Building Number) and the mass and type of waste office paper collected. (iii) The Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture and Land administration (MDALA) and the Mbombela Local Municipality (MLM), supported by Department of Environmental Affairs (DEAT) through the NWMS Implementation Project, should lead the waste office paper collection, recycling and reuse initiative. These institutions should develop waste office paper management plans and practices which should include: a. Reviewing the current waste collection practices, in order to increase their recovery rates of waste office paper; b. Setting specific targets for waste office paper collection, recycling and reuse; c. Dry waste (office paper, tins, bottles and plastics) should be separated at source. Adequate provision needs to be made for wet waste (food). Each office should be provided with a minimum of two waste bins, one bin to dispose off waste office paper and another bin for the disposal of other recyclable waste materials. d. Provide a scale for weighing the amount of waste office paper being recovered at MDALA, in order to more accurately quantify waste office paper recovery rates. (iv) DEAT should more actively promote the usage of recycled office paper.
20
10 PILOT TRIAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Based on the Baseline Study and the various assessments undertaken (as reported in the sections above), it is proposed that a waste office paper collection, recycling and reuse pilot trial be undertaken at the Mpumalanga Provincial Offices at the Riverside Complex, and possibly also at the Mbombela Local Municipality (still to be further explored by the Recycling Team with MLM). The proposed implementation plan is set out below.
10.1 PROPOSED TASKS
AND
OUTCOMES
10.1.1 Monitoring of Waste Office Paper Collection

(i) Confirm participation of target Departments (e.g. MDALA, Public Works, Local Government and Housing, Education, and Health). The responsible persons for waste collection in each building (i.e. the logistics manager) needs to be identified and informed of the proposed trial. Hold discussion/workshop with Departments to inform them about the proposed trial, and discuss and agree on the trial details. Institute a dedicated waste office paper collection system in the target Departments. Position dedicated waste bins for the collection of waste office paper at strategic points in each Building/Department, e.g. at the following positions: The MECs Office, Planning Division, Communication Division and four other strategic points in the each of the Departments. It is anticipated that about 30 waste office paper waste bins will be required (4 buildings x 7 points = 28 in total). Possibly more bins need to be placed, ideally a set of bins in each office; this will be assessed by the participating departments together with the Team. In addition, bins for other dry recyclables (e.g. tins, bottles and plastics) and wet waste (e.g. tea bags and food) also need to be provided to ensure waste separation at source. Waste Collection: The waste will be collected daily, at night. The cleaners will be trained to collect and shred the waste office paper for recycling purposes. Consideration will also be given to separation/sorting of coloured paper from the white office paper, before shredding. Waste Recycling and Record System: The waste office paper collected within each of the buildings/departments will be transferred at night to the central waste recycling facility in the Department of Public Works building. Here the daily mass of the various types of paper wastes from each department will be determined (by weighing on a scale) and recorded in a documentation system. The associated value of the waste office paper will also be recorded. Monitoring of Waste Office Paper Collection: Once the above arrangements have been put in place, the monitoring of waste office paper collection will commence and continue over the pilot trial period of say four months (say July to November 2006).

21
10.1.2 Assess Use of Recycled Paper at Target Departments

(i) Assess current use of office paper at the trial departments, including details of the quantities of different qualities and grades of office paper used and frequency of use. The procurement of office paper is currently recorded in the LOGIS system, which will be adapted to record information appropriate to the use of recycled paper pilot trial. Assess and quantify the type of equipment being used in each of the target Departments, e.g. laser printers, ink printers, copiers, etc. and establish the details of the Departments printing processes. Purchase recycled office paper to meet the target Departments paper needs for the 4 month pilot trial period. The recycled office paper will be purchased from SAPPI (i.e. recycled paper already manufactured at the SAPPI Port Elizabeth Mill). Assess the use of recycled office paper on the paper printing and processing equipment of the target Departments, e.g. laser printers, ink printers and copiers, both internal and external (Minute Man Press, Nelspruit) to the Department. Assessment of the satisfaction and acceptability (or otherwise) of the use of recycled office paper by the trial Departments. Refine Recycled Office Paper Specification: Based on the trial results refine the specification for the recycled office paper used by the Trial Departments.
(ii) (iii)
(iv) (v) (vi)
10.1.3 Awareness-Raising, Education and Training

(i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Interact and collaborate with Provincial Environmental Awareness Division to plan and develop Awareness-Raising, Education and Training campaign. Hold a workshop with key role players from the target Department to inform them of the proposed pilot trial and to plan and develop a detailed implementation plan. Launch the pilot trial with an awareness-raising campaign for the target Departments office staff using, for example: flyers, posters, e-mails, and announcements over the intercom system. Educate and train the office paper waste collectors in the sorting, separation, shredding and storage of paper and other wastes.
10.1.4 Collection, Recycling and Reuse Pilot Trial Outputs

(i) Paper-making trial report: SAPPI will produce a report on the paper making trial using recycled paper. The report will include the technical and economic details related to the trial, and any lessons learnt during the trial. Pilot trial report: The Recycling Team will produce a report which will document all the details of the Pilot trial. It will include:

WELCOME, PURPOSE AND CONCERNS The Chairman welcomed members to the meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to review progress and plan ahead. Because the project has experienced a number of delays, the Team is expediting the program of work in order to finalise the project by the end of 2006.
4. PROGRESS TO DATE Field Visit: 10-12 April 2006 JKS tabled her field visit report and high-lighted her findings (see attached report) and identified the following challenges facing the project, which were discussed by the Task Group: a) Separation at source: The offices do not have dedicated waste bins for office paper in each the individual offices (although there are dedicated bins at one central point for each office). As a result, all waste (including food and wet waste) contaminates the collected waste office paper. (Action: Arrange dedicated waste bins from the contractor - Anti-Waste (Mondi) and Sappi(Frikkie)). b) Awareness: Most of the office workers were unaware of the office paper recycling initiative, or if they knew about it are not taking the trouble to separate out their waste office paper. (Action: Design and implement aware-raising programme). c) Target Departments: Public Works has indicated willingness to assist with project; other departments who have shown interest are Local Government and Housing, and MDALA. (Action: Identify interested parties, arrange meeting and launch the trial). d) Printing Companies: The printing companies Nelspruit that undertake printing for Province have indicated a willingness to participate in the trial
using recycled paper (Action: Choose company and finalise arrangement for the trial). Project Implementation FT, DS and HW further discussed the implementation of the waste office paper collection, recycling and reuse pilot trial and covered the following points: a) Select three (or four) buildings for the pilot trial; select departments which have indicated willingness to cooperate and which are high volume users of paper. b) Position dedicated waste bins for the collection of waste office paper at strategic points in each Building/Department, i.e. at the following positions: The MECs Office, Planning Division, Communication Division and four other strategic points in the each of the Departments. It is anticipated that about 30 waste office paper waste bins will be required (4 buildings x 7 points = 28 in total). Possibly more bins need to be place; this will be assessed based on a critical assessment with the participating department and the team. In addition, bins for other dry recyclables (e.g. tins, bottles and plastics) and wet waste (e.g. tea bags and food) need also to be provided to ensure waste separation at source. c) The waste will be collected daily, at night. Train the cleaners to collect and shred waste office paper for recycling. NOTE: Two organisations involved, office cleaning staff and cleaning company contractor. d) Launch an awareness raising campaign for all the participating provincial department office staff, e.g. flyers, posters, e-mails, announcements over the intercom system, etc. Use the Environmental Awareness division to drive this programme (Action: FT to speak to New director Dr. Almarie de Lange and Marketing Manager Mr. Aaron Mndonsela. e) Identify the responsible persons/champions in each building, i.e. the logistics manager for each building. f) Hold workshop with relevant parties to raise awareness and to launch the trial. g) Further investigate office paper use within the Riverside Government Complex: (i) FT provided latest LOGIS system information. Unfortunately the system currently does not capture the required information. (Action: FT to discuss with specialist at Treasury to adapt the system to capture the required information). (ii) Team to investigate economics and other drivers for the whole operation to ensure the feasibility of the proposed operation. (Action: Team). (iii) FT will write memo to HOD of the Departments Health and Education to get cooperation of the high volume paper users. (Action: FT) (iv) Ring-fence the pilot trial at centralised waste office paper collection points: MECs Office, Communication, Planning and few other selected points. (Action: Team). (v) Investigate the purchase of scale to weigh collected recyclables; FT to speak to Public Works and HW to Sipho Dube if Project can provide the scale. (Action: FT & HW) h) Aim to start the Pilot Trial during June 2006. (Action: Team).
SAPPI Involvement HW reported that SAPPI (Renate Advocaat) has indicated concerns about project. (Action: SD & HW to address) 5. NEXT MEETING Proposed date: 23 May 2006, 09h00.

WELCOME AND PURPOSE The Chairman welcomed members to the meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to review progress since the last Task Group Meeting held on 26 May 2006 and to plan the way forward. PROGRESS TO DATE Dr. Wiechers reported on the outcome of the 26 May Meeting (between FT, DS, OPS, CM, JK and HW) and high-lighted the challenges identified by JK . The discussion that followed and the actions decided on were as follows: e) Separation at source: The Provincial Offices at the Riverside Complex do not have dedicated waste bins for waste office paper in each the individual offices (although there are dedicated bins at one central point for each building). As a result, the paper waste contaminated by food and wet waste. It was decided that FT and DS would arrange dedicated waste bins through the contractor - Anti-Waste (Mondi) as well as from Sappi (Frikkie Ueckermann). (Action: FT & DS) f) Awareness-Raising: Most of the office workers were unaware of the office paper recycling initiative, or if they know about it, they are not taking the trouble to separate their waste. The capacity development members of the Team were to be approached to design and implement an aware-raising programme. A workshop in this regard was tentatively scheduled for 23 May 2006. HW reported that a MLM Pilot Project Capacity Development Workshop has been planned for 14 June 2006, and JK has been requested to approach June Lombard to establish if this workshop could be expanded to include 1-2 hour session on Waste Office Paper collection, recycling and
9.
reuse, in the afternoon at the Riverside Complex. OPS undertook to arrange a venue for the workshop. If this was not possible, a separate workshop would be arranged and SAPPI (Ms. Renate Advocaat) would be approached to assist. (Action: JK, OPS & HW) g) Target Departments: Public Works is committed to assist with project; other departments who have shown interest are Local Government and Housing, and MDALA. DS reported that FT has written letters to these departments, as well as Education and Health to arrange a meeting to discuss there involvement and the planned trial. (Action: DS & FT) h) Printing Companies: The companies in Nelspruit that undertake printing for the various Provincial Departments have indicated a willingness to participate in the pilot trial using recycled paper. One printing company will be selected to participate in the trial and briefed on the proposed program (Action: Team) i) Project Implementation: The implementation of the waste office paper collection, recycling and reuse pilot trial was discussed the following agreed: i) Select three (or four) buildings for the pilot trial; and select departments which have indicated willingness to cooperate and which are high volume users of paper. (Action: FT & Team) j) Position dedicated waste bins for the collection of waste office paper at strategic points in each Building/Department, e.g. at the following positions: The MECs Office, Planning Division, Communication Division and four other strategic points in the each of the Departments. It is anticipated that about 30 waste office paper waste bins will be required (4 buildings x 7 points = 28 in total). Possibly more bins need to be placed; this will be assessed based on a critical assessment with the participating departments by the Team. In addition, bins for other dry recyclables (e.g. tins, bottles and plastics) and wet waste (e.g. tea bags and food) need also to be provided to ensure waste separation at source. SD requested OPS ; to assist the Team in selecting the most appropriate positioning of the waste office paper collection bins. DN expressed concern that the bins for wet waste should not be cardboard bins (like the present recycling bins provided by Mondi/Sappi; this will be addressed as part of the waste separation at source exercise. (Actions: Team, FT, OPS & DN) k) The waste will be collected daily, at night. The cleaners (of the two organisations) will be trained to collect and shred the waste office paper for recycling purposes. Consideration will also be given to separation of coloured paper from the white office paper, before shredding. (Action: CD Team & SAPPI/RA) l) Launch an awareness-raising campaign for all the participating provincial department office staff, e.g. flyers, posters, e-mails, announcements over the intercom system, etc. Use the Environmental Awareness Division to drive this programme (Action: FT to speak to new director Dr. Almarie de Lange and the Marketing Manager, Mr. Aaron Mndonsela). m) Identify the responsible persons/champions for waste collection in each building, i.e. the logistics manager for each building. (Action: FT & DS) n) Hold workshop with relevant parties to raise awareness and to launch the trial. (Action: JK & JL)
f) Current usage of office paper: Further investigation within the Riverside Government Complex: (i) FT has provided the latest LOGIS system information. Unfortunately the system currently does not capture the required information; this will be discussed with the LOGIS specialist at Treasury to adapt the system to capture the required information. (Action: FT) (ii) Team to investigate economics and other drivers for the whole operation to ensure the feasibility of the proposed recycling and reuse exercise. (Action: Team). (iii) FT to write memoranda to HODs of the Departments Health and Education to request cooperation of the high volume paper users.

Annexure 5 FIELD VISIT REPORT PERIOD: 10-12 APRIL 2006
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS AND TOURISM NATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION Mbombela waste minimization and recycling project FIELD VISIT REPORT PERIOD: 10-12 APRIL 2006 PURPOSE To set up office waste paper collection system at the Riverside Government Complex. The office paper recycling project forms part of the Mbombela Waste Minimisation and Recycling project. IT aims to address the potential for recovery of office paper in Mbombela, The trial side identified by the project is Mpumalanga Provincial Department situated at the Riverside Complex. In order to set up an efficient office paper collection system, a detailed analysis of the current collection of office paper was reviewed. The assessment will give guidance for future improvement of the current system in terms of office paper recycling and use. The Department of Environmental Affairs will therefore use the outcome of the project for the national roll out. Background A meeting was held between Fekile Theledi (MDALA), Mr. Nkosi (The recycling facility manager) and Mr. Masuku (Assistant manager) and the following information was gathered: The River site Complex comprises of nine buildings. Each building has a maximum of three floors. All waste emanating from the building is taken to a recycling facility situated at the basement of building number five. The building is occupied by the Provincial Department of Public works and Transport. Procedure for waste collection in the offices There is an existing office paper collection practice in the river site complex. The practice is the same thought the complex. Each office in the building is provided with bin for disposing off waste from the office. The other bins are positioned at the strategic point within the premises, these points were the bins are located include the Kitchen, the dining hall and there are other bins which are stationed next to the stationery rooms. There are no dedicated bins for waste paper collection, provision is made for officials to use dining hall and kitchen when eating and all organic or wet waste arising from these points is disposed off into the bins allocated for the type of waste.
Dry waste from the office is disposed off into the bins situated in the office. The typical waste emanating from the offices include cans, plastic, news paper, and other paper. There other instances were official put the office waste paper aside; this paper is collected by the cleaners and taken to a shredder machine. Collection of waste by the cleaners The procedure for emptying the bins is the same throughout the buildings, the bins are emptied by the cleaners using black plastic bags. The cleaners belong to contracted cleaning company. The plastic bags are then taken to respective cubicles for storage. Waste taken from the kitchen and the dining which comprises of food and other contaminated waste is stored separately from the waste that is taken from the offices, the purpose for separation is to ensure that recyclable waste is taken to the recycling facility while other (wet) waste is collected by the municipal collection system. Recycling facility The waste that is collected from all the 9 buildings is delivered to the recycling facility by the group of women working at the facility. The recycling facility is operated by the company called Maipi trading. The company is contracted by the Department of Public works and it is operating as a close corporation. There are nine women employed by the company. All the waste entering the facility is recorded using a sheet (paper), there is no scale to weigh the amount of waste that enters the facility, the waste registration is based on the amount of black plastic bags being brought to the facility. All the records are kept in a journal and the data available will be forwarded to the Department. The amount of waste being recovered ranges from Departments. The building that is leading in terms of the amount of waste paper recovered is building 7, which constitutes the Department of Education, the Department Public works situated at building 7 follows as second, the Legislature has been recorded as producing the least amount of paper waste paper. Sorting at the recycling facility Sorting is done by the women employed at the centre on each load that is delivered to the recycling facility. The main objective of the facility is to recycle office paper, however recycling is not limited to office paper but any other recyclable material emanating from the offices can be taken to the facility. The type of recyclable waste that reaches the facility includes office paper (HL1), card box (k4), newspaper, cans and all types of plastic.
HL1 is shredded by the shredder machine owned by the facility, and only K4 and HL1 is bailed before sold. Maipi Trading Company sells their material to anti-waste, except cans which is sold to a nearby scrap yard. Challenges o The existing infrastructure does not give provision for separation of waste at source. Mr. Masuku has reiterated the fact that office paper that reaches the facility is always contaminated due to mixing of waste in one bin. o There are no separate recordings on each type of waste reaching the facility. o There is no scale to weigh the waste; the method used to record waste being brought to the facility is by means of counting the number of waste plastic bags. o It is difficult to trace the origin of the waste paper from offices as all paper is mixed prior to being sorted at the facility. Recommendations It is recommended that an awareness campaign be undertaken by the project. The campaign should address issues relating to recycling of office paper and separation at source. In order to ensure efficiency in the collection system, a tracking system must be put in place to provide information about the amount of office paper bought, used and recycled. The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEAT) and Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture and Land administration (MDALA) should be at the forefront of the recycling initiative. The two departments must develop the Waste management/recycling plans for their respective department, this will assist in terms of setting targets for office paper recycling. The current collection of office paper should be viewed, the possibility of increasing the recovery rate of office paper must be assessed. However it is vital the correct figures are recorded by the current collection system. The project must have scale to weigh the amount of paper recovered, this will give indication if there is increased paper recovery with the improved collection system. Each office should be provided with a minimum of two bins, one bin to dispose off office waste paper and the other bin should be dedicated for disposal of other recyclable waste material. The Department must promote the demand and usage of recycled office paper.
